    A tea shop that's pretty hidden in a corner of a super busy plaza in Temple City. Plenty of free parking spots but don't underestimate the amount of parking as it's busy daily. First impressions is that the interior is pretty sizeable. I visited during a Demon Slayer collaboration and the interior lighting is a bit bright and not the greatest on the eyes if you're around for awhile. The lighting is very much like a medieval tavern color wise, orange if not lantern orange. The spot seems like a decent place for a hangout with a group of friends, plenty of tables all in a line and there's a infinity room in the back (not sure if it's just for the current collab but it's pretty cool regardless.) Staff is friendly and seem pretty quick. My partner got me one of their matcha lattes and it was average at best in my opinion. Some sips had plenty of matcha flavoring but some were a bit tasteless. Overall, not impressed but if you're visiting for the Demon Slayer collaboration, it would be pretty nice to see it. Drinks wise is a bit disappointing but I'm sure their other drinks options are better.

    I took my daughter as we are both demon slayer fans and this themed decor will be gone July 31st. Had the food been better I would've given 5 stars but it was a money grab as taste did not match what you pay for. Glad they had an ala carte version as the temple plating was an extra $20. We got here on a weekday so only a few tables. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable and I liked they were fans.

    Demon Slayer x Bearology February 9 - July 31, 2026 Even though the cafe was located in a shopping plaza with dedicated parking lot, parking was still challenging. The dining area was fairly small with handful number of tables available. The booth seating was also quite tight and may not comfortably accommodate more than 4 adults. Reservations require a deposit which is applied towards your final bill. As for the food, it was mediocre and not worth it. Most visitors are likely coming for the Demon Slayer themed experience rather than the food itself. The staff were not friendly either so this would be a one and done experience.

    We were next door and wanted to stop by here and grab bobas to go and honestly... it was just okay. It wasn't crowded at all, which was nice, but the space itself is super small. Our drinks, and for the size of the cups, they felt pretty overpriced. But it was actually pretty good! The taro smoothie and watermelon is a must try! The theme is a fun idea for fans, but overall it just didn't live up to the hype for me. Not all that, in my opinion.

    I saw influencers on INSTAGRAM hyping up this place so I thought WOW it looked really cool. I also went on YELP to check the ratings and they had pretty good ratings so I thought to myself let's go check it out!... I made a RESERVATION online: $20 per person and that can be credited towards food and drinks... I went inside and I was SURPRISED at how small it was compared to what I saw on Instagram. There were a few photo opportunity inside. Lots of souvenirs for purchase. There wasn't many people inside at around 4pm on a weekday so b I really didn't need to make that RESERVATION... FOOD: 8/10 Sliders were good and it came with some really crunchy chips. However, the food was priced higher than the average. We are talking about DISNEYLAND prices for food. For example, that snack tower and just the tower itself is $90!!! DRINKS: 7/10 The milk tea was not bad but the TARO milk tea was overly sweet...and you have to pay EXTRA for it to come in a MASON JAR!!!! I think it's a great place for teenagers and kids or families. You are paying for the EXPERIENCE!... They didn't even have table service! You have to order at the cashier one and a time. There can possibly be a line when busy. Plus, the train experience wasn't even on when we went. So sad. Maybe we're too old for this. Time to search for delicious foods on Yelp... BARE WITH IT BEAROLOGY!!! So for me, it was a one hit wonder! Thank you, NEXT!

    What you're paying for is the vibes...and the incredible attention to detail. You decide if it's worth it.

    We came for the Demon Slayer collab, which means that we made sure to get a reservation because with the demand, walk-up wasn't an option. We came on a Saturday and the shared parking lot is big, but we couldn't find any. That situation changes and it can't be controlled, but I think it's good to know that it can get crowded so plan accordingly and give yourself time. They do collabs often so depending on the IP, you might find yourself here joining whatever fandom you belong to. The attention to detail they gave for their photo-ops was wonderful. And on camera, it translates fantastically. It almost seems like the space is huge, but it's actually quite small. Truly, truly instagrammable and photogenic. But wow, the snack option appetizer--with the draw being the tower presentation--was incredibly pricey. It comes out to close to $80 for "just okay" food and meager portions. But again, it was presented in a most epic way. It it was it is. And if you're fan of the IP collab, it could be worth it. But it is expensive.

    Drove up from SD to experience the Demon Slayer pop up for my daughter. Honestly the food was just meh. I feel like you pay for the experience more than the food. We ordered the following: -3 ramens. My son mentioned this is a scam because the picture had 3 slices of Spam, but he only received a few cubes of Spam. -The slushes had to be in expensive tumblers. That's fine, they were delicious. -The Tower was way over priced. $68 for the amount of food was wild. Two of the sliders didn't even have the top buns. I chalk it up to the experience. -The Raspberry cheese cake bear was good, but dismembering the bear was traumatic lol The servers were generally friendly. Our food did take a long time to receive. I'll give them a pass again because all the reservations came in as they opened. The ambience is of course why you go here. They go all out with the Demon Slayer theme. My daughter really had a good time. Overall, come here for the Dragon Slayer theme. Leave knowing you did it for your kids core memory, and not your good financial decisions.

    Came in for the Demon Slayer pop up. Was seated 10 mins after reservation time. Was warned when we sat that we would be sharing our small table. I was unsure of what would be less awkward: sitting side by side with a stranger or sitting right across from a stranger. You order/pay at the counter. Placed order at 8:15 and got order at 8:50. Our order took so long that 2 different groups sat at our table. Paid $40 for instant ramen + 1 drink in a souvenir cup. The aesthetic itself is cool, and there's a few photo ops. Merch was neat too. The reservation and seating process just sucked, plus the food took much longer than we expected. Overall, it was just an "ok" experience. I commuted from Whittier and didn't find it worth it.

    I had a pleasure checking out Bearology during their pop up for Demon slayer. And it was an absolute vibe. I myself an old Demon slayer fan however I know a super fan so I ended up taking him for his birthday and it was so fun, and immersive experience. I'm more familiar with Bearologys other locations that have hookah and just Boba so I knew that no matter what was going on inside, it was going to be a good vibe regardless. We ended up ordering the entire snack, tower, Ramen, and a bunch of drinks. I will say that everything in total ended up being on the pricey side. The food and the drinks were honestly mid but again you're paying for the experience so if you're OK with that, then you'll be OK with the drinks and the food being mediocre. I personally wasn't a fan of either one of the future drinks and the food came out cold. Can't wait to see what else Bearology has in store pop-up wise for them!

    A cute lil anime themed rotational pop up boba spot. I came here this time for the demon slayer collaboration. The interior and even exterior doorway was built to be like the infinity castle. The drinks were also better than the arcane ones, with my favorite being the lychee apricot tea. Yes it's on the very sweet side, but I cracked open a can of sprite with it. Mixed together it was an incredible drink. I got both the mugen train and infinitu castle cups from two drink orders. I liked the design of the cup with the nichirin sword showing the drink + katana hilt drink topper. Overall, fun experience for anime fan. Definitely a nice visit while its still available.

    I saw this demon slayer themed Boba shop on instagram and was intrigued it, I decided to visit it. I was asked at the door if I have a reservation to get a table, if I don't have a reservation, I can only order takeout. The whole Demon Slayer Infinity Castle theme was interesting. The place is pretty small but the way they decorated with mirrors make it look big. I asked how long they'll have this them up and was told the infinity castle theme will be up until July 31. I saw on instagram that they had the mugen train them and spy family them in the past

    Watermelon Slush
    Katherine P.

    Came here to get a watermelon slush because I wanted something refreshing during this heat wave. There is a Demon Slayer pop-up occurring now until July 31, 2026, which draws a huge crowd so there is actually a line to get inside if you are trying to dine in. They have an online reservation system but it is $10 per person pre-paid. I did stand-by for take out and it was about a 15 minute wait outside. It took another 15 minutes to get my drink after placing my order inside. I got a watermelon slush. It seemed promising because of the red color, but the flavor and texture fell flat. The slushy was chunky ice and needed to be blended longer. It was unpleasant trying to sip on thick ice chips; even shave ice or a raspado would have a better texture. The watermelon played a minor role, and the only pro of this drink is that it was not sweet. There's a mirror installation that creates an infinity-like illusion, located at the back of the store next to the bathroom. This is very small, standing room only so do not expect an actual experience you can walk through. Menu as of March 2026: https://www.figma.com/proto/ai68UzM4iIGKIbETbpLhcT/Bearology-Main-Menu?page-id=102672%3A1179&node-id=102672-1180&viewport=933%2C257%2C0.39&t=dbc1jPEnXKilQ65Y-1&scaling=scale-down&content-scaling=fixed

    Best katsu sandwich I ever had and chips. Thanks chef Nathan. This was such a fun experience to come with friends who are fans as well. I'll be back next time to win my kyojuro rengoku figurine. We spent 2 hours here hanging out with Chef Nathan because he was so nice and friendly. Definitely coming back for this experience again

    Pros: extremely veteran boba experts Cons: I don't want…read morepeople to know about this place or it'll get busy. Our go-to are the mango mango slush or strawberry slush half sweet no chamoy, royal milk tea with boba, and Peach green tea half sweet. Drinks are ALWAYS consistant and yummy. Even more, the boba is consistantly divine-- fresh, chewy, and sweet. Drinks come out quick even when it's busy. I'm always amazed how many drinks they can pump out quickly. The staff here are boba masters. Prices here are competitive/standard. Expect about $5/drink. They also have a stampcard program! Buy 8 and get 1 free. We frequent Hello Boba because it's nearby and good. Even if there's more unique places like half and half, 3 cats, and twinkle brown sugar. I prefer Hello Boba. They're just really good, consistant, and quick. Always hits the spot. Staff are generally friendly and greet you with a smile. There's this one swole asian dude who's that has a rbf. I don't think it's personal though, he's probably always sore from hitting the gym. I almost never get a smile from him-- it's just business. He shows his love in a through his consistant drinks. Which I can appreciate. I usually take my drinks to go. But there was one time me and my son hung out and played board games. They have a nice variety. But just like all other boba places, the games are usually really beat up from all the useage from previous customers. Very casual. The only downside is that this place is dangerous to my waistline. Overall good for everyone of all ages and different ethnic backgrounds. Special Shoutout to Tuan. When my wife or son wants boba, sometimes I forget what our go-to order is. Tuan knows our order. It's people like Tuan that make places like Hello Boba special.

Their original mojito is good if you're looking for an alcohol free version with boba. Other than that, normal boba menu. Quick service from time you order till pick up.

There are cushioned bench seating areas and while overall it's a small shop, it's a decent place to study. I don't see outlets though.

Nothing made me gasp, nothing made me weep, and definitely nothing made me want to come back for round two. The popping boba? Oh, it popped alright -- right into my teeth with the enthusiasm of a tiny rubber ball that's been left in the sun too long. Hard. Not crispy, not chewy -- just... defiant. Now let's talk about the adventure of getting inside. This place on Valley Blvd has more iron barricades than a medieval fortress. The door facing Valley? Locked. Barred. Rejected. You've got two options: walk all the way around through the parking lot like some kind of peasant making a pilgrimage, or -- and I quote -- simply climb over the fence. Because yes, apparently that's a viable alternative they've just accepted as normal. Service is fine. Not warm, not cold. Just... fine. The kind of fine where they hand you your drink, you say thanks, they nod, and you both understand this is the last time you'll see each other. And outlets? None. Zero. Nada. If your phone's at 5%, may God have mercy on your soul because this tea shop certainly won't. Would I go back? Only if I'm already in the parking lot. And the fence is already open. And someone else is paying. And I've forgotten what popping boba is supposed to taste like. Otherwise? Hard pass. Hard boba. Hard entrance. Hardly worth it.

    Second time visiting this location, and it was just as good as I remembered!…read more I hadn't been here in a few months, and it looks like they've expanded their menu. They also added more outdoor seating, which is nice since the interior is pretty small. Parking is street parking only, but I've never had any trouble finding a spot. Emily, the cashier, was incredibly friendly and helpful. She took the time to walk us through the new seasonal drinks and menu additions, which made it much easier to decide what to order. Popcorn Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Tapioca ($7.85) - My go-to drink! - Perfect level of sweetness without being overpowering - Rich, creamy, nutty flavor - Brown sugar tapioca had the perfect soft and chewy texture (only wished it was cut a bit smaller) Pinewood Milk Tea ($6.85) - Similar to the Popcorn Milk Tea, but with a lighter, more subtle nutty flavor - Still delicious, though I personally prefer the Popcorn Milk Tea Jasmine Oolong Milk Tea ($6.85) - A great option if you're looking for something lighter and more refreshing Everything was made well, and the service made the experience even better. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu. Love that they still do daily samples!

A must-try is the Popcorn Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Tapiochi. This is a rich blend of assam black tea and creamy milk with a toasty buttery popcorn twist. It is my husband's go-to drink. Another drink I would recommend is the Cassia Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Tapiochi, my go-to drink. This drink has a comforting aroma of cinnamon with the maltiness of a milk tea and the creaminess of a latte. Their tapiochi is made in-house daily and is super delicious. This topping feels like boba, mochi, and jelly all in one. The texture of it is nice and enjoyable to chew. It also seems to pair well with basically any drink. Definitely check this spot out if you have not yet. It is unlike any of the other boba shops around. There are plenty of parking spots directly in front of the shop.
